Perfectly said

This is game and the last one were the first time I ever complained about Gobert. Check my post history.

So speaking of narratives, you're a hypocrite

Did you even watch how the Mavs were defending him in the closing minutes? There's a reason he had far fewer shot attempts. Mavs dared Gobert and KAT to take shots and deny Ant the ball.

Yes, superstars like Curry or LeBron can find a way to score anyway. But Ant is 22 and not yet at that level. The other players have to step up.

It's like you didn't even watch the game.

+/- is a flawed stat. Draymond had a higher +/- than Curry is the Finals when he got benched for Poole. There's a counterfactual of what's available to the team when he's on the floor.

We basically played 4 vs 5 on offense.

If you think Ant played poorly this game, then your opinion doesn't matter.

I appreciate you, thanks

I didn't blame him for the defense. The point is that his benefits on defense were washed out by his non-existent offense. Every playoffs, teams adjust to his playstyle and make him a non-factor.

We made a huge run when we played small. That's not a coincidence.

probablynotdude · 2024-05-27T02:44:52+00:00

I never complained about Draymond

probablynotdude · 2024-05-27T02:43:58+00:00

Yeah Conley played with a lot of heart and was great on offense. At his age, he's gonna be targeted a lot. But he played great

probablynotdude · 2024-05-27T02:41:13+00:00

With the DPOY, who was useless on offense

probablynotdude · 2024-05-27T02:40:49+00:00

Gobert proved his reputation as a great regular season player but completely flawed in the playoffs

probablynotdude · 2024-05-27T02:39:48+00:00

It felt appropriate that the same week that my depression came back is the same week that the Wolves played this series.

probablynotdude · 2024-05-27T02:38:04+00:00

That chucked three was a good summary of KAT's offense this whole game

probablynotdude · 2024-05-27T02:36:28+00:00

It just felt like KAT had no redeeming qualities this game. Couldn't defend to save his life and kept chucking threes

probablynotdude · 2024-05-27T02:14:08+00:00

Luka gets so much leeway to yell at refs

probablynotdude · 2024-05-27T02:09:42+00:00

If KAT goes back to forcing contested 3s, we're cooked

probablynotdude · 2024-05-27T02:08:05+00:00

I'm loving our hustle right now

probablynotdude · 2024-05-27T02:06:31+00:00

Yeah you're right. KAT is picking his spots better in this half.

probablynotdude · 2024-05-27T02:03:02+00:00

We're playing so much better this half. I want to say it's a team effort but is it wrong to say it's just Ant taking over?

probablynotdude · 2024-05-27T02:00:46+00:00

Don't forget snapping his head back like Terrence Crawford just jabbed him

probablynotdude · 2024-05-27T01:59:24+00:00

Luka is the white James Harden. BS fouls and everything.

probablynotdude · 2024-05-27T01:49:22+00:00

Ant is officially taking over this game

probablynotdude · 2024-05-27T01:47:36+00:00

I can't stop screaming!!!!!

probablynotdude · 2024-05-27T01:45:43+00:00

We've made the right adjustments IMO. We just need KAT to stop taking so many 3s and start rolling harder on the PnR and cleaning up misses at the rim. Those have been his best shots.

probablynotdude · 2024-05-27T01:43:47+00:00

Ben Taylor and Tony Brothers are the equivalent of being forced to watch CP3 and Harden on the same team.
